Signification / value …. part 2

  1. Me:  God’s Fragments, like love itself, has an ever expanding capacity and potential I think…it’s not a zero-sum equation….there’s always more of God and his attributes as potential is realized and new potential becomes unleashed.

    Yeah, that’s exactly right.  The Adjuster never runs out of potentials for us to actualize.  Here are a few quotes that come to mind.  There are probably more.

    107:4.7  . . . In eternity, man will be discovering not only the infinity of the objective Deity but also the unending potentiality of the subjective fragment of this same God. Always will the Adjuster be revealing to the mortal personality the wonder of God, and never can this supernal revelation come to an end, for the Adjuster is of God and as God to mortal man.

    110:7.4 . . . All that was once human in the surviving soul and all that is experientially divine in the Adjuster now become the actual possession of the new and ever-ascending universe personality. But on each universe level the Adjuster can endow the new creature only with those attributes which are meaningful and of value on that level. An absolute oneness with the divine Monitor, a complete exhaustion of the endowment of an Adjuster, can only be achieved in eternity subsequent to the final attainment of the Universal Father, the Father of spirits, ever the source of these divine gifts.

    110:7.5 . . .  But it will require an eternity of the future for an Adjuster ever completely to endow the personality partnership with the meanings and values which the divine Monitor carries forward from the eternity of the past.

     

  2. Fusioning with our soul, did God lose attributes ?

    Sorry André, I missed this question.  The Adjuster loses nothing, but actually gains an experienced personality, which subsequent to fusion, brings all the potential character attributes of God to the evolution of God the Supreme. In a way, God gains an experiential facet to his attributes.  Don’t forget that Adjusters are pre-Trinity, pre-experience, in origin. It’s more of a flowering of attributes for God which were once only seeds.  We toil with God, but both reap in different ways.  We reap the personal experience of living out God’s attributes as our own and God reaps the joy of having them expressed as a living reality in time.  But they remain his attributes which he shares in the partnership.  Hope I explained that well enough.

  3. Hi André,

    You wondered about my use of the term “fertilization”. I’ll try to explain.

    For me, the most breath-taking thing presented in the Urantia book is Personality. What’s so special about Personality?

    Well, there must be something, because the Father delegated responsibility for absolutely everything else!

    Everything to do with spirit, he entrusted to the Eternal Son; everything to do with mind, he handed over to the Infinite Spirit; everything to do with enabling the material universe, he off-loaded to Paradise. But he did not (could not?) delegate responsibility for Personality.

    Recall how each of the above four “Sources & Centers” (Father, Son, Spirit, Paradise) serve as source & center for one of the four absolute presence circuits ( 131.9, 12:3.6 ) upon which reality depends. As First Source and Center, the Universal Father is “Source & Center” of the personality circuit.

    Now for the fun part: what’s the one thing Adjusters seek out for themselves? Personality. We are told that one way an Adjuster can be “personalized” is by fiat, directly by the Universal Father (see Personalized Adjusters (227.1, 20:4.3).

    “Such Adjusters form the supreme Divinington council of direction for the administration, identification, and dispatch of Mystery Monitors to the inhabited realms.”

    Another way for an Adjuster to be personalized is by the “human” technique, via the long and winding road that leads to fusion with an ascending personal soul.

    Reflecting on the way the Source and Center of Personality seeks to “Personalize” his Adjuster fragments, I imagined these Father-fragments being “fertilized” by that other fragment he bestows — that point of personality he entrusts to us. And there we have it, two halves of our essential DNA, Personality and Adjuster, sharing their eternal genetic potentials in preparation for that unimaginable “subinfinite penetration of the absolute” ( 1226.13, 112:1.9 )

    Why fertilization? Poetic license: “This fertilization allows gestation, and a second birth…”

  4. Thank you Nigel. You just caused me to understand something I really needed to know.
